One could use the Unicode DEC value directly, such as:

&#8226;

or the Unicode HEX value directly, such as:

&#x2002;
I think you meant x2022 a.k.a. (dec)8226 :-)

8226 or x2022 is the same number, so whatever it is, it should work
the same.

And maybe those will work the same as &bull; on all modern browser now.

But that was not my experience in the past.

Perhaps you would care to extend your browsercam test to some
regression testing of more ancient browsers -- on Mac OS.

Note, either will produce a bullet in most browsers.

But &#8226; is almost-for-sure *ONLY* going to "look right" on MS IE.

Not true, for most (and all most current) browsers do render that
glyph correctly (other glyphs may vary), please review:

http://www.browsercam.com/public.aspx?proj_id=289683

The first bullet is &149; (same as ALT 0149 on the windoze keyboard).

The second is &#8226; and third is &#x2002;

Note all three produce a bullet -- oh and don't forget &bull;, which
will produce the same result.
